BOOX Firmware V4.2 is officially released to Tab X C, Note Max, and Tab Ultra C Pro.

In the notes app on Note Max, the floating toolbar disappears everytime you exit full screen mode, and you must now drag the tool bar out every time you want it displayed in full screen mode, and i cant find a way to access the floating toolbar while in full screen mode, if you have not already drag

BOOX Firmware V4.2 is here! Community-driven updates and a new thread for feedback.

We'd like to be able to disable pinch to zoom in the Boox Notes app. Otherwise it starts zooming randomly while we write notes. You removed the button that disables pinch to zoom. Why? Please bring the button back. I returned my Boox Note Max because of that. I do like the fast mode in v. 4.1 and af

Firmware 4.1.1 - why did Boox remove the "HD" refresh mode on the Tab X C?

I returned the Boox Note Max because of this and other bugs like no option to disable pinch to zoom in the notes app in 4.1.1. The new Speed mode is very good though, it is very fast and clear with almost no ghosting.

It's Official! Tab XC 13.3 Color Kaleido 3 Just Dropped

I'm going to guess that within 3 months, there will be a 13.3 inch Note Max C that will be a better device than this glass screen, suboptimal non EMR surface pen Tab X C. That said, dammit about my willpower given I've been waiting 7 years for a Boox 13.3 inch color device.

Advice for Artist getting first time e-ink drawing tablet

Professional digital artist here. Eink isn't ready for fully featured digital art. Colour accuracy and brightness is atrocious even with eye watering cost and colour accuracy comes at the cost of speed of refresh. Even then it isn't close to even cheap emissive screens. The best you've got is a devi

Note Max or Go 10.3 Gen II (or something else?)

i'd keep the max lumi for desk reading and get the go 10.3 for portability. 13.3 is great for scans but you already have that. the go's 300ppi resolution is noticeably sharper than lumi for small text. note max is basically lumi with better specs but same size - feels redundant. i use zotero on my g

RMPP Review - 1.5 Years Later

The Bad is fair, but in my book, just annoyances and far from deal breakers. Mods make a lot of them better. For me, the light is a non-issue. If it could go brighter, I wouldn’t do it. No need to bake my eyeballs. A screen doesn’t need to glow. You just need to be able to read it comfortably, and t

Boox Note Max firmware 4.1.1 intermittent display "freeze"

Just bought a new Boox note max, and I have a similar issue when turning pages. Every so often (maybe every 5-10 minutes) when I try to turn the page, the screen becomes unresponsive. But it does recognize gestures, and if you keep scrolling then after several seconds (5 to 20) when it unfreezes it
